“This morbidity is due to viral infections, which are normal for the season, but are now developing a little more peculiarly. First – there are many cases and second – the disease itself is much more severe and long-lasting.” Said in “The interview with NOVA News” the epidemiologist and consultant for health issues in the Metropolitan Municipality, Prof. Todor Kantarjiev.
He specified that the previous respiratory viruses had subsided
after a week, and the current ones cause symptoms for 2 and in older people up to 3 weeks. According to the professor, the coronavirus has replaced seasonal viruses for several years.
